Natural wine and Orange
Domaine Glinavos Description
Orange color which resembles that of honey, tea or a cognac color. Intense and highly complex aromatic composition with characteristic aromas of apple, butter, and sweet spices like cinnamon and cloves. Rich on the palate, refreshing and well-balanced with main aromas of apple, butter flavor with a mild oxidation, as well as aromas of cinnamon and a hint of vanilla.
Paleokerisio, which translates to ‘Old Fashioned’ is a throwback to ancient Greek winemaking techniques. Made from the local, indigenous grape Debina with a splash of Vlahiko, it spends 12 days macerating on its skins before it’s bottled in the middle of fermentation resulting in a funky, demi-sec, orange, lightly sparkling wine that defies categorization.

It smelt of apricots and cloves. Like spiced butter. Like candied orange peel, like panettone. The fizz was persistent, a teasing tingling rather than a bite. It tasted extraordinary. Nuts and apricots, a deep, reverberating, kombucha-like tang but definitely wine, not cider. Buckwheat honey and bitter marmalade shifting across the palate through skeins of ground ginger and cinnamon, hop flowers and apricots. It’s a blend of 97% Debina (a white variety vinified with 12 days of skin contact) and 3% of the red grape Vlahiko. The finished wine is carbonated in tank. The result is an off-dry, semi-sparkling orange wine that almost defies categorisation. Tamlyn Currin Feb 2020
